Very little is within your control, that's precisely all you need.
The stoics understood that by championing your own physical, mental and financial health, you were independent of the world and could navigate whatever exogenous shock sent your way. You cannot assume responsibility for family and friends if you are in need yourself and you most certainly cannot assume a leadership role within your community if you are not in personal robust form.
Invest in you, assess and take command of your physical, mental and financial health, make a strategic plan for the coming year and become a robust warrior ready to carry your family through the next event - economic, political, spiritual, conflict or disaster.
Take care of yourself first, then you family and community. Any other order is a recipe for failure.
